The content creator took to social media to open up about the ordeal of being racially-profiled and he believes he was targeted because he's young and black. Lasizwe claims he was stopped by police at the airport because he wasn't wearing a mask, but masks are not mandatory.
“So I got racially profiled. The police in Spain stopped me inside the airport and asked for my passport then they told me to wear my mask (bare in mind it’s not mandatory in Spain to wear masks anymore except for when you are in a public transport)”
He says no one was wearing, but he was asked to wear it or face an arrest. “They told me if they catch me without a mask at the airport they were going to arrest me or fine me when I looked around at the airport NO ONE WAS WEARING MASKS (also bare in mind it’s just white people here. Black people are a 1:1000 scale here) after the security check point.”

“I said fvck it I removed my mask and made friends to just move around with them… I felt like they targeted me because I was alone, young and black. This was a very wild experience still trying to process it.”
His followers took to the comments section to sympathies with him.He recently joked about his dancing skills after he shared a clip showing him getting down and said his dance moves left a lot of people in awe, but social media users think he cannot dance to save his life.
"Mamela! Yesterday I started dancing and everyone here in Spain was so impressed. I feel like I’ve been dancing for the wrong country because I am Kamo Mphela here. Someone even asked me for dance lessons."
